ReadyNAS Pro Stuck at Booting…
I’m trying to resurrect my ReadyNAS Pro and it’s stuck at Booting… It will complete the FS checks, but can’t get past Booting…. I’ve attempted an OS Reinstall and a USB Recovery, but the USB ...
After that, I always used RAID6.
Better to have a backup strategy, as no RAID mode is enough to keep your data safe.
As a hail Mary, I cloned the drive using the (somewhat infamous) Linux dd command.
Cloning the drive can help (and often is recommended before trying to recover data, since the recovery process can stress the a failing drive more than cloning it).
It’s a hard lesson to learn and hopefully I’ll be able to clone my way out of my problem this time, but going forward, cold offsite backups will be used.
